Pizza Hut Canada produced a limited-edition perfume. Apparently, Eau de Pizza Hut has "“top notes of freshly baked, hand-tossed dough." I guess it beats smelling like pepperoni or anchovies. (TODAY, via NextDraft)

    Did they really manufacture this stuff just for to be packaged as perfume, or did they already have a few litters of the stuff lying around for use in sensory marketing?

    • jenjen

       Excellent guess – wouldn’t be surprised if they had an order-of-magnitude mistake in an order and now they’ve got a ton of Pizza Smell to unload.

    Sorry, I’m holding out for Eau de Little Ceasars.

    • howaboutthisdangit

      2 bottles for the price of one, and free Crazy Bread-scented moist towelettes.

    • ChicagoD

      Actually, that is an odor that is easy to pick up and hard to wash off.

  • Donald Petersen

    Feh.  I worked at Pizza Hut for about six years in the late 80s and early 90s, and I was there when they introduced the hand-tossed crust.  If I had to smell fresh-baked Pizza Hut dough, I’d pick the pan crust instead.  Greasy and buttery!

    The hand-tossed dough was always the stuff that left the doughmaster’s hands cleaner than when his shift started.  But more than once I heard, “Shit, where’d my Band-Aid go?”

    Yer welcome.

    • relawson

      I delivered for quite some time. I’m glad they didn’t bottle the “delivery guy’s car” aroma. It took YEARS to get rid of that!

      • Donald Petersen

        Oof.  Had to sell those cars to rid myself of the pepperoni and sweaty-polyester-uniform-shirt smell.  Actually, come to think of it, all four cars I wore out in that job ended up sold to junkyards for $80 each.

  • jimh

    My memory of work in restaurants during my high school and college years mostly involves trying NOT to smell like the food after my shift.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    I already smell like garlic.

  • Diogenes

    Perfume to make you smell like you have a yeast infection.  Another brilliant idea from Pizza Hut.

  • Rhyolite

    What do you have against pepperoni?

  • monitorhead

    the smell associated with pizza hut for me, was part grease/part cleaning supplies / part mop water.  and the fetid odor of singed breadstick sauce in the slow cooker / dispenser.

    Yes you too can stink like a Pizza Hut employee after an 8 hour shift.
